What to wear
Please have your child come wearing white, black, or a combination of white and black. The clothing should ideally be form-fitting and dance-appropriate, such as leotards, dance shorts, tights, t-shirts, leggings, etc.
Please ensure the clothing has no logos or typeface (with the exception of the Mariposa logo).
Hair can be out and free flowing or tied up, as the child prefers.

Makeup
No make up is required for minis, juniors and intermediates. Seniors may choose to add makeup - we'd suggest dramatic neutral-coloured makeup to go along with the theme.
Please do not fake tan as this looks very bad under studio lights.

How it will work
On arrival, your child will be checked in and asked to wait for their turn.
Please make sure your children wait with you, as we have a lot of equipment they could damage if they run around.
Once the team are ready, your child will spend time with a dance teacher, learning a pose/jump/move for the photoshoot.
Next, Rebecca will call your child/ren into the studio. Unless specifically requested by Rebecca, we ask that parents and carers do not observe the photoshoot.
Rebecca will capture photographs of each individual child and each sibling group.
